So grateful to have ya'll back! My husband & I enjoyed our meal & the lively atmosphere tonight. The previous business there couldn't hold a candle to you and they barely ever had more than 4 cars in their lot & maybe one couple on occasion on the patio where else (on a Wednesday no less!) your parking lot was PACKED as was the patio. And for good reason - you have brought with you what you had in your original location in ways of good, homecoming and a service that makes everyone feel like family. We love the menu which is short which allows for quality execution of all dishes. Bravo! We waited about 35 minutes to be seated which was fine as you have plenty of seating for waiting guests & we enjoyed talking with others waiting. I saw someones else's review that complained of "no sides". Seriously?! READ the menu people! The sides are the yummy peppered cabbage and macaroni salad that is put out to eat family style along with warm fresh buscuits! I love the zip of the pepper cabbage! Reminds me of what my gram used to serve. And when your meal arrives, your waitress also delivers warm bowls of green beans and stewed apples to enjoy family style. So good!!! I have always enjoyed your trout deboned table side, which I've had multiple times but went with the fried scallops which were perfectly cooked which can be tricky when deep frying them. Yours were perfect & went well with the tarter sauce (which had a nice onion flavor to it) and cocktail sauce. My hubby had the fried flounder which was well done & tasty. You offered some great homemade desserts but I had no room:( Thank you for persevering after Helene and taking a chance on relocating to Landrum. While you can't please everyone, you have pleased us as always! Keep up the great work & kudos to your staff whom really bust it out! Good workers can be hard to find & you have and are blessed See you again soon!

Enjoyed the food on our last visit, but the noise level was nearly unbearable. Weather permitting, it's best to sit on the covered outdoor area. It also took a bit too long to check out, as there's 1 guy trying to take care of everyone's tickets. Wish they'd let the wait staff do the checks. A reservation is a must here! Even with a reservation, we had to wait about 10 minutes to get seated.

I celebrated my 50th this weekend at the new location! I’ve been a customer since I was born! So, here is my review: The food was fabulous !!! The location is small but they’re trying! Atmosphere just not the same, but life isn’t the same. Inside and outside seating. I’m so proud of them for being brave, pulling up their boot straps, and making it happen. Literally rising from nothing! However, society needs to learn grace! They’ve recently opened, they lost everything, they’re packed, they were out of a couple of items, the outside seating isn’t for hanging out and socializing! Go to the F8Yard if that’s your thing! There’s some real disrespectful people in this world. The outside seating is for extra seating. When you’re done-leave. Other people are waiting for a table, too. Caro-mi: is a 10/10!!! I do think they need to consider a bigger building with more parking later on down the road. Otherwise, I will be a frequent flyer. We love Caro-Mi and are so happy for them!

While I miss the old place , that was taken out by Helene , I am so happy they are back and they kept the menu the same and the service . First off , I highly encourage you to make a reservation , even a couple days out as they fill up fast . I called the day before and had to eat at 4pm to sit inside as the inside was booked up. The patio was available later and it is covered and they have fans. Truthfully , I might have been alright sitting outside at 630pm and next time I’ll remember that . I got there at 4pm and let me tell you the line was out into the parking lot . To me this is a great sign that the food and service are going to be great. Since I had called and booked the day before I made my way to the hostess stand and was promptly sat. They immediately got waters and brought their famous caro-mi coleslaw and pasta salad . Both are winners , I ordered the chicken livers and my wife got the trout . The food arrived in about 8 minutes, , I watched the server remove the head and tail from my wife’s trout then open it up and plate it for her. By the way she may have encountered one or two bones max . They also brought green beans and warm apples with our entrees. My livers were perfect and a very generous helping . The atmosphere is busy but in a good way and I saw the patio slowly starting to fill up. For dessert I had the tarheel pie , the only way I can describe it is that it’s like a brownie served in a pie crust with ice cream. This is a must order item. They have a few other desserts but I knew when I got there what I was having. To wind this up , I miss the old place , the water and the beautiful front porch and rockers . But, I am so happy they reopened and did not just go away . Thank you to the owners and staff for staying strong and keeping the tradition alive

Caro Mi is my favorite place to visit! The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, calming and beautiful! I love the sounds of the stream, crickets chirping, and the front porch rocking chairs. The covered bridge is so perfect to take wonderful pictures of the trees, stream, and the restaurant. Food is great, and service spectacular! Cozy little place tucked away in the mountains. Beautiful drive along the way. I highly recommend Caro Mi!!

I grew up in South Carolina and this place is a legend and with good reason. Getting there is a beautiful drive off of I-26 through the foothills and piedmont of NC. The setting is amazing! The food is also amazing! The covered bridge and the front porch with the rocking chairs overlooking the river is so beautiful and relaxing. The name is an homage to the original owners who lived in the Carolinas and Miami. Highly recommended!

Resteraunt was clean and the waitstaff was great. Slaw and macaroni salad come out first with family style service. I had the flounder and it wad perfect. Lightly breaded and moist inside. Nights are crowded, so make a reservation.

Dane, thanks for the wonderful experience once again! The food was excellent as always! I know it will just keep getting better! The Ham, slaw, macaroni salad, apple butter, apples, and the biscuits were awesome! Will definitely be back next week!
